After Hollywood star Matt Damon was seen around Oklahoma in early June, a new report says the actor will be starring in a new film titled "Stillwater."

According to Variety, the movie "follows an American oil-rig rough neck from Oklahoma, played by Damon, who travels to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter who is in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit."
